Alte Visioni│Erto Film Festival

Erto e Casso, Italy


Among the peaks that stand out against the sky and the deep silence of the valleys that preserve ancient stories, “Alte Visioni│Erto Film Festival” is born. It 's not just a film festival but a bridge of light and images thrown between the past and the future, between the memory and resilience of a territory unique in the world: Erto and Casso.

The purpose is twofold and deeply rooted in this land.

First, to honor the memory and learn from it. Erto and Casso are places that bear the scars of Vajont, an eternal reminder of the fragile balance between man and the environment. However, the mountains have also been the scene of epic historical events—think of the trenches of the First and Second World Wars, or the transit routes and natural fortresses that have shaped entire civilizations and conflicts. With our awards and screenings, we want to create a space for deep reflection, where memory is not just a recollection but becomes a tool for awareness. We want cinema to help us explore the lessons of the past, understand the complexities of human choices, and promote an ethic of responsibility towards our planet and future generations. Every image projected will be a tribute to those who are no longer with us and an invitation to build a better tomorrow.

Secondly, to celebrate resilience, rebirth, and mountain life, which is not only a memory of tragedies. It is also living testimony to the unstoppable force of nature and the tenacity of the human spirit. Like some trees in the Bosco Vecchio forest, which were able to take root again after the landslide and whose branches have become new life, our community has been able to get back on its feet and look ahead. The festival aims to highlight this capacity for rebirth, the wild and untamed beauty of our mountains, the culture that animates them, and the new perspectives that are opening up. We want cinema to be a tool for telling stories of hope, adaptation, sustainability, and the deep connection between humans and the nature that surrounds them.

Emigration Film Festival | On the Wings of Return

Meduno, Italy


Organizing a festival dedicated to the theme of emigration in Meduno means giving voice to
a wealth of stories, emotions, and memories that still inhabit the area today.

Through short films and documentaries from different parts of the world, the festival aims to build a bridge between the past and the present, between those who left and those who returned or arrived, between the roots and new identities that intertwine in border areas.

It's the desire to rediscover the memory of Friulian emigration, made up of departures, sacrifices, and hopes, and at the same time to reflect on contemporary migrations, which continue to transform communities and the way we look at the world.

In a natural and human context of great intensity, the festival becomes a moment of encounter and sharing, where authors, spectators, and inhabitants dialogue through the images, words, and emotions of cinema.

It's also an opportunity to promote independent filmmakers, authors, and productions that are capable of sensitively and originally portraying the many nuances of leaving, returning, and belonging.

Finally, the festival aims to strengthen the link between culture and territory, inviting the public to discover the discreet beauty of the villages and to experience community, memory, and cultural rebirth.
